In Figs. and 6 another form of the invention has been disclosed. According to this form, the anti-burn device is applied to the protector of a spiral type wave. The dot and dash lines 20 in Fig. 5, indicate a. spiral wave former. At the base of this former there is a circular protector 2!. This circular protector is formed with an opening 22 through which the drip may pass. A transverse opening 23 is formed in the side of the protector 2i and communicates with the opening 22. The tip member I5 is inserted through the opening 23 so that the trough portion [8 and the perforations is are located beneath the opening 22.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
